With three Platinum albums already under their belt – 2005 debut Hold Your Colour, 2008’s In Silico and 2010’s UK #1 Immersion – Pendulum are one of Australia’s most successful musical exports, having sold over a million albums in the UK alone. After a 15 year Pendulum pounced back on the scene with powerful new album Inertia, out now via Mushroom Music/Virgin Music Group.

Inertia sees the band slam through 16 emotionally packed songs with collaborations that cement their staying power. Rob Swire and Owen Charles took on producers duties with the album recorded in the bands London studio, featuring more big names including collaborations with Bullet For My Valentine, Wargasm, Joey Valance & Brae, as well as the soaring new single ‘Guiding Lights ft. AWOLNATION’. The album marks a bold new era for Pendulum, and their most emotionally exposed record yet.

Says frontman Rob Swire of the new album: “It’s the sound of Pendulum finding themselves again, and me figuring myself out to a certain extent … I can’t wait to get back on tour. I know people always say this in interviews, but this time it feels different.”

Celebrating the album, this tour adds to their colourful live CV which includes festival appearances at Glastonbury, Creamfields, Coachella, Reading & Leeds, Rock Am Ring, to Ultra Miami – alongside countless sold-out arena tours across Europe, the UK and beyond. The band completed their biggest UK headline tour to date in 2024, including a stop at London’s O2 Arena.
